since barak and later olmert livni and now bibi, israel has fought in a limited fashion and one arm tied behind its back. Why? Goldstone, and the experiences of the leaders-ehud barak rose to fame as a commanod and not a smashing land general so he avoided open conflicts. olmert and livni had no combat experince and olmert was judged by winograd interim to have failed badly. he was in my opinion afraid of looking at broken bodied and severed limbs. livni had no experience either.
bibi was shot i believe sevveral times. and that is it regardlss of his participation. the shapira report shows him disconnected and passive. as yvet, said, bibi on his own cannot undertake a major action.
putin has smashed syrian rebels without hardy any casualties among the russians. he has used air and naval p ower to smash city blocks, not one building at a time. he has used some special forces.
idf has to p repare to do likewise while using gas masks in case. home front should be passing out such masks and now and notwhen it is too late.
herzog has no capacity to fight hezbollah and syria, zero, he is a weakling. ask mordechai kedar about herzog.
